It is really hard to find a Dungeon party if you play Rogue. While leveling most parties 30+ play AE-Farm (Mage/Lock) or Melee-Cleave (Warrior/Enhancer). From level 50+ basically nobody wants a rogue in their parties.
Most LFMs in World Channel read like
“LFM 3 DPS BRD, only Mage/WL”
Even when I start a party myself, many people leave right after invitation, commenting “Sorry, didnt know we play with rogue. We wont finish instance this way.”
Takes me about 2-3 hours to find a party even for BRD on level 57. Feels just dull and boring, probably going back to LoL if this meta and community dont change.
Feel free to share your thoughts everyone.

Everybody goes to BRD for HoJ, they dont want competition.

You’re a rogue, what did you expect, really? D’oh…

You should be fine if you are human or orc rogue. Gnomes and undead rogues stink
A nice way to think about it: If they’re sticking to a meta like that, chances are you’ve dodged a bullet by not being in their group

Yea, that’s what I think sometimes. They’d rather wait 20 minutes more searching for a mage instead of losing 3 minutes in clear speed by taking a rogue. Ofc they are kinda stupid.
But on the other hand: Since I am really bored by solo-grinding I rely on team play to get to 60 and I wont have much of a chance to get endgame gear before PvP starts.
Mage is the only dps anyone ever needs, and since 60% of the classic playerbase plays a mage why bother with a subpar dps?
Just roll a mage
Hey now I take offence to that. Orcs and undead have a smell most foul. Humans smell kinda iffy but us gnomes harbour the aroma of a 50% fail rate on our fire hazard inventions. In others words we smell awesome!

I am a Rogue too, and I could find parties just fine even though I levelled 30-59 as Subletly and had no cleave.
You are doing something wrong. In fact, I think I gained 2 or 3 levels in BRD sub 60.
Also, nobody wants a sub-60 DPS for the big dungeons (Scholo/Strat).
Danaos, would you mind trolling in some other threads?
And hell, before I roll a mage i’ll quit the game. Came for the PvP, if I start rolling a Mage now, everyone will be miles ahead once PvP starts.
I feel your pain. Ive given up and rerolled a priest.
dis sum high quality trolling here, gj
I have been kicked from groups after traveling from Stormwind to the dungeon entrance like they only realised I was a rogue when I got there. I was also asked by one group if I was a tank.

Just start your own group, it’s not that complicated.

Not true, I even got invited to one of those cleave groups in SM as a rogue (not guild made). For DM I got invited as well and later on for BRD, Mara, ZF and so on I got in.
If i didn’t get in I simply made my own group. Never played classic or vanilla, can people just make their own groups instead of crying about their class? Jeez.

Not exactly my case, i dont usualy make groups, and if so im not that picky, u wirte before that mage and got right lvl for dungeon? U are in.
But realy, did a lot of dungeons, mostly pugs, some with 2 friends so we just filled dps, got rogue in about half dungeons ( im talking about leveling ones from RFC to ZF, need mara and ST now) but not only rogues, shadow priests, feral druids, dude i even got few balance druids, some people are basicly just too picky or follow mainstream because lets be honest, itts easier to do dungeon with 3 mages instead of 3 rogues, but i like my groups unique, if nothing helps, makenyour own group and make yourself unique and wanted ( geting malet as dos for ZF can get u easy party for example)

Its probably because the majority are ninjalooter, like the one utillity they have which you get use for is lockpicking, but when most of them are entitled and think the items/chests they lockpick are theirs just because they got that utillity it wouldn’t surprise me why people would not take a rogue
But that is just my guess
dude i cant even tell if you are trolling or just a cat.
